Johansson explained that she went to visit Renner with their other co-star Florence Pugh. She said that they went to the hospital with some cookies to cheer him up, and they had a good time together.
The actor also spoke about the on-set accident that caused Renner’s injury, saying that it was “very scary” for everyone involved. She praised Renner for being a “trooper” and for continuing to work on the show despite the injury.
Hawkeye, which is set to air on Disney+, follows Renner’s character Clint Barton as he trains a new protégé, played by Pugh. The show is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it is one of several new Marvel shows that are set to premiere on Disney+.
Johansson and Renner have appeared together in several Marvel films, including The Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Avengers: Endgame. The two actors have developed a close friendship over the years, and Johansson’s visit to the hospital shows just how much they care for each other.
